Jordan, please understand that from an user's point of view this response looks like a cop-out:
- for months there have been complaints of Java 8 being slow (just search the forums and the issue tracker) - Google dragged its feet in making Java 8 available for GAE standard and only made it available *after* Java 7 got EOLd It would be nice for Google to provide the latest version of the *supported* languages on AppEngine Standard (like PHP 7, Python 3, Java 9) instead of forcing us to use older, unsupported, insecure and slower versions of them! Attila PS. And no App Engine Flex is not the solution since it doesn't have feature parity with standard (even if we ignore the cost issue) and personally I find the monthly posts of "AppEngine now supports X" (like Elixir) annoying - because I always recall that I have to use an EOLd version of languages. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
